We chose to sit on the outdoor deck with a reservation at 5:30. There are fans, and it was very comfortable until the sun moved and then we were in direct sunlight. It was not a busy time from what we could tell (only one other table being served outside), but the service was very slow, taking at least 15 minutes to bring my drink. Also, practically had to find the waiter to ask for more water or anything extra. The server was very nice and friendly, but did not seem to care about the wait times.

Lovely brunch with my brother and sister-in-law today. First, the coffee was excellent and for me, that set things off in a good way right away. I had the avocado toast and my husband had the quiche. My brother had a chicken sandwich and my sister-in-law had the French toast . The food was all fresh, hot and good. The service friendly, polite and attentive. IdaClaire we will be back!

We had a reservation for Mother's Day at 7 pm. We sat at 7:15. The waitress greeted us at the table and announced they were out of fried chicken, grilled chicken, catfish, mashed potatoes, etc. so the selection of food was VERY limited. The service was slow. I won't be going back for dinner or big occasions.

My kids took me to celebrate Mother’s Day. We had a reservation, we arrived slightly early and were sat 25 mins after our reservation time despite having open tables. We ordered drinks and appetizers and then were told they were out of about half of the dinner menu items. Our dinner arrived about an hour and a half later. The food was good and they credited apps but horrible planning and organization and super slow service.

There were six people in our party. The server was very attentive and pleasant. Everyone at our table commented that their food was bland and lacked flavor. My meal, although ordered "medium" was overcooked and very dry. I brought this to the server's attention and he agreed with my assessment. We did not withhold gratuity from the server because he did a good job, but I was disappointed that my meal was not discounted. We've been to Ida Claire's before and were very pleased, so this negative experience surprised all of us. With all the options in Jacksonville we probably will not return for a while but I think we will eventually return in a year or so and give them another opportunity.

We dined here on Mothers Day and have been a good handful of times beforehand. Always had a great experience! This time they were not prepared for the holiday rush. When we arrived and seated we were told they had no high chairs for our 18 month old twins and offered no solution until I asked what they suggested we do. Our food took 1.5 hours. They forgot one of our apps. The server was overwhelmed which we understood. But the overall attitude was annoyance and not accommodation. The server did comp our drinks and apps. We will be back! But not on a holiday. Ha!

Mother’s Day dinner out. Three in our party. Check-in went fine. Hostess said she would text us when our table was ready. About 35 minutes later I noticed OpenTable changed our status from “checked in” to “dining” but we had not received a text saying our table was ready. I talked to the hostess, she couldn’t explain it but had us seated immediately. Drinks and apps came out quickly. Waitress very nice. An hour later waitress came and let my wife know they were out of mashed potatoes and would she like to choose a different side dish. About 15 minutes later our entrees arrived. My plate of fried chicken was lukewarm, wife’s grilled chicken was charred black and over cooked, sin’s burger was fine. Mine and our son’s Mac & cheese side dish didn’t arrive for another 15 minutes. When it came out it was under cooked Al dente and bland. Waitress was wonderful, apologetic, and did what she could to make our dining experience as pleasant as possible.

We reserved for a Mother’s Day brunch. Upon being seated our table was not clean (sticky). Our server mentioned that “someone didn’t clean the table last night.” Not cool to make a statement like that in front of a customer. The cocktails were pricey and very weak. My son’s meal came out cold (it was eggs, ham etc.). All others in our party like their food. Our server was very helpful.

Had 815 reservation, was about 15 minutes earlier. Told the Host we would be at the bar. At 830pm everyone had been seated. I went up to a hostess and she said she didn't know where we went. They then sat us and the meal took 1 hour do to wait for food, restaurant was only about 50% full. The apps were great, the entrees were not. For the value, I would only go for drinks and apps.

The waiter was great. The food was mediocre and the seasoning level was a bit bland. The portion size of the chicken was very big. Not so for the salmon. I would not go back again but I encourage anyone who would like to go to try it out at least once. It just was not for me.

Had reservations and it took us about five minutes to get seated. Once seated we were greeted and the service seemed OK but the waitress was really really busy going back-and-forth and In and out of the kitchen The entire time that we were there. (After church crowd) to paint the picture it was myself my husband and our two young children. It seem to take at least 30+ minutes to get the food out to the table but once it was out it was pretty good. I actually like the avocado toast I didn’t think I would but it was pretty good like I said Service was a bit slow but the food was good not sure if I would go back during a busy time though.

Our first time here was excellent and I raves about it. Took other family members there and it was not very good. The problem I believe is consistency. Mac and cheese was dry and two of them had no sausage. The line checker should have noticed and fixed the issue. Unfortunately we will not be going back.

I had the plain French toast with four halves which was way overpriced. I ordered a side order of bacon which was disappointing since it tasted like sweet ham and not bacon. Partner had the eggs Benedict. He said his sliced of ham was way too sweet. Third time here and it will be my last time.
